Hayao Miyazaki wasn't only a talented artist and animator, he was an incredible storyteller. He brought so many wonderful characters and worlds to life. Deviant Art user C3nmt created this tribute portrait of the man using familiar elements from the movies that he has made. As you can see, it turned out brilliantly.

Hayao Miyazaki (born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, animator, manga artist, producer, and screenwriter. Through a career that has spanned over fifty years, along with Isao Takahata, co-founded Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio. The success of Miyazaki's films has invited comparisons with American animator Walt Disney.
